The plains overlooking the seaside town of Ryll became the location again for the clash of armies, with the Imposing Cavalry Knights (Land Raider Army) of King David facing off against the Roman army of the evil Count Andrew in a Dux Bellorum 15mm battle.

Having accounted for his evil father in a previous battle King David was determined to rid his kingdom of the evil spawn, Count Andrew The Younger.

The task would be harder as Count Andrew had trained his infantry warriors in close order tactics and turned his warriors into effective shield wall.

Riding at the head of his mounted knights, King David decided to act quickly to bring the “son of a usurper” to justice.

Surprising his enemy by moving his mounted troops through the forest on his left King David attacked the enemies right-wing cavalry.

The “son of a usurper” stood in the centre of the field with his Companion foot.

First blood went to the king who quickly routed the enemy knights who dared to stand up to him.

The King and his Companions were charged by the remaining knight unit of that Usurper Count Andrew the Younger.

The King was assisted by more of his knights who charged the enemy cavalry in the flank destroying them on contact.

The momentum stalled very quickly as the king’s Companions became involved in a long drawn out combat with the “son of a usurper’s” shield wall unit that had also charged him in the flank.

Both armies were loosing units as fatigue set in. Finally victory was almost assured when Count Andrew the Younger was slain and joined his father in eternal damnation.

Unfortunately with only two units remaining on each side the King was forced to retire when a unit of knights broke leaving only the King and his Companions alone on the field against two demoralized shield walls. Unable to pursue the King retired to the safety of his castle.

A very close game which, with both armies almost broken, was decided by dice rolls in the end.
